| | PC World - EarthLink Readies Anti-Phishing Tool |
 | | Next Monday, EarthLink is releasing ScamBlocker, a free application available to everyone--not only EarthLink customers--designed to keep Web surfers from accessing the sites phishers use to steal data. |
 | | EarthLink is in talks with financial institutions and other common victims of phisher "brand-spoofing," but declines to name any of them, says Scott Mecredy, EarthLink senior product manager. |
 | | Also, EarthLink plans to refresh its blocklist several times daily, similar to the way antivirus applications update their viral signature databases, Mecredy says. |
